College ChoirAnticipates
Autumn Concert, Touring
The Bethel College Choir under,
the direction of Dr. Robert Berg-lund
will present its fall concert
on November 21, at 8:00 p.m. in
the fieldhouse.
The fall concert effort is a rela-tively
new tradition to the college
choir which in past years has con-fined
itself strictly to the per-formance
of sacred music. The
fall concert is primed for a wide
range of musical taste.
Pops music will be highlighted
by Gershwin's "Rhapsody in
Blue". Romantic selections will
include Brahm's "Gipsy Songs",
and "Sure On This Shining
Night" by Agee.
"Polovetsian Dance and Chorus"
from the opera "Prince Igor" cre-ated
by Russian nationalist com-poser
Alexander Borodin will also
be performed in addition to selec-tions
of a religious nature — Mas-cagne's
"Lord, Now Victorious"
for two choirs, and several Ren-naissance
numbers.
The Fall Concert tradition is an
effort by the college choir to dem-onstrate
its competence as a Chris-tian
choir in the wide-ranging
world of secular and religious mu-sic.
Dr. Berglund states that the
concert is not intended to pro-vide
a spiritual experience only,
but also to provide an oppor-tunity
for students to participate
in an aesthetic experience.
The college choir has been en-gaged
in a regrouping of forces
as many voices are new to the
organization. Dr. Berglund is hope,
ful that this year's choir will deg
velop its own sound and have its
own distinct personality from
choirs in past years.
Next Spring the choir will make
a tour to California. In the future,
the choir is planning a trip to
Europe as the Male Chorus did
last year.

Grand Duchy of Luxembourg—
The American Student Information
Service, with headquarters in the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is
now accepting applications from
U.S. college students who wish to
work in Europe next summer.
The ASIS can place students in
temporary summer work in Great
Britain, France, Germany, Switzer-land,
Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland
Norway, Luxembourg, Belgium,
Holland, Austria, Israel and Liech-tenstein.
ASIS has many new job open-ings
within categories that in-clude
resort hotel work, office
work, factory work, hospital
work, child care work, ship
work, construction work, farm
work, sales work, and camp
counseling work.
Wages range to $400 a month
for the highest paying positions in
West Germany and the working
conditions and hours are exactly
the same as those of the Europeans
with whom the students work. In
most cases room and board are
provided free but if not, the stu
dent worker lives independently in
the city where he is working. In
any case living accomodations are
prearranged.
Every student placed in a sum-mer
job in Europe attends a 5-day
orientation period in the Grand,
Duchy of Luxembourg that in-cludes
cultural orientation tours
to Germany, France, Belgium, Hol-
St. Mary's College of Winona,
Minnesota has scheduled for Dec-ember
2, 3, and 4 a seminar con-cerned
with "The American Col-lege
Student and Unbelief." Fea-tured
as a panelist and as a speak -
er will be Donal Thorman, publish-er
of the National Catholic Report-er,
acclaimed to be the emerging
voice of American liberal catholi-cism.
The seminar is sponsored by the
land and Luxembourg, blackboard
sessions, on the scene language,
practice, and lectures given by Eu-ropean
university professors.
Although there is usually no
foreign language requirement
for the jobs, students are given
the opportunity to experience
native European situations dur-ing,
the orientation period.
Blackboard sessions and talks
cover such subjects as how to
save money while in Europe,
low cost transportation, shopping
discounts and inexpensive living
accomodations.
ASIS claims that this do-it-your-self,
on the scene method of prep-aration
is the only way to adjust
rapidly to the European way of
life.
The ASIS, in its tenth year oii
operation, also supplies job ap ,
plicants, at no extra cost, with a
complete set of language records
of the language of the country in
which the applicant will be work-ing,
a student pass allowing the
bearer student discounts through-out
Europe, complete health and!
accident insurance while in Eu-rope,
and a comprehensive infor-mation
service about living and
traveling in Europe.
The ASIS also offers travel ar-rangements
that greatly reduce
the cost of the summer in Eu-rope.
Student applicants are also
free to make their own travel
arrangements to and from Eu-
National Federation of Catholic
College Students. Questions which
the seminar wishes to consider
are: What is your belief in God?
Is your faith in God really rele-vant
to your life? The news re,
lease states that the only necessary
preparation for the seminar is a
serious self appraisal.
Cost of the seminar is $1.50 per
student. Those wishing to attend
should contact P.O. Box 93.

The purpose of the ASIS job-in-
Europe program is to provide ev-ery
college student with the op-portunity
to see Europe, to in-crease
his cultural knowledge
through travel and at the same
time to earn and save money.
Students with limited budgets
would not otherwise be able to
see Europe. The student worker
also has a golden opportunity to
acquire a speaking knowledge of a

CONVOCATION
FILM
The Bethel Convocation Com-mittee
has announced a special
convocation film to be shown
Tuesday, November 22, at the
chapel hour.
The documentary, titled "A
Time For Burning," portrays the
tensions which erupted in Oma-ha
in recent years when a Lu-theran
minister attemped to ar-range
interracial visits among
Lutheran parishioners.
Tuesday, November 8, marked
the kickoff day for this year's Pre-
Seminary Student's Association,
commonly known as the Pre-Sem
Club. Elected to club offices were:
Calvin Swanson, President, Dave
Holland, vice President, Craig Car-mean,
Sec.-Treas. Also a part of
the cabinet will be Pastor Al Glenn
who was not elected to his post.
Future meetings of the club will
be held on the second Tuesday of
every month at 7:30 p.m. in the
Seminary Hall Chapel. Some flex-,
ibility of schedule will be reserved
to accomodate guest speakers.
A release by President Calvin
Swanson states the purposes of the
organization under the following
points: 1) to acquaint students with
aspects of the Christian ministry.
2) to orientate students with the
functions and structure of the sem-inary,
3) to give practical training
for immediate Christian service.
4) to foster a spiritual tone of lifq,
on campus.
President Swanson feels that the
Pre-Sem Club is an excellent op-portunity
to consider a profession
in the clergy. "One's experience
in Pre-Sem club may not give one
new possibilities for archeologi-cal
investigation.
You may help in this important
work, earn credits, make interna-,
tional friends and receive valuable
training in archeology, by joining7
a program sponsored by the Asso-ciation
for Cultural Exchange, thq
British non-profit organization.
Volunteers first join a three
week seminar for training in Brio
tish archeology and excavation
techniques at Wesminster College,
Oxford. They then split up into
small groups for three or more
weeks "digging" on an archeologi-cal
site.
Total cost of the program is
685 dollars, including round-trip
air transportation from New
York. Part scholarships are a-vailable
to suitable students with
a "B" plus average.

10025. Closing application date is
expected to be the beginning of
January 1967.
THE answer, but one will certain-ly
have a wider view of the areas
of possible service," stated Presi-dent
Swanson.
Questions to be considered by
the Pre-Sem Club include: What
is a call to the ministry?, How
-does one know it?, What are good
academic majors for pre-seminary
students?, What about the Draft?,
Which seminaries might one con-sider?,
What is the scope of ser-vice
for a Seminary student?
Senate Initiates
Escort Service
This week begins the operation
at Bethel of a special escort ser-vice,
under the sponsorship of Stu-dent
Senate, to provide transporta
tion back to campus or off-campus
homes for girls who work outside
the general campus area at night.
The project was conceived as a
Bethel service when girls involved
brought to Senate attention the
very real need for rides to be
available late in the evening.
First introduced to the Senate
in October, and after passage put
under the direction of Dave C.
Anderson, the service was put into
effect following a brief presenta-tion
in chapel Tuesday morning.
Papers on which one could in-dicate
either need for a ride or
availability of a car were distri-buted
through the post office box-es
the day of the presentation.
After the initial matching, all
arrangements will be strictly be-tween
the two parties concerned,
a payment of ten cents per mile
being paid directly to the driver.
Although Bethel has not tried
this plan before, it has been used
quite successfully elsewhere, par-ticularly
at Trinity College in Chi.

Kennedy's Words Recall
Endowment of Heritage
"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.'
More than three centuries ago, the Pilgrims, after a year
of hardship and peril, humbly and reverently set aside a spe-cial
day upon which to give thanks to God for their preserva-tion
and for the good harvest from the virgin soil upon which
they had labored. Grave and unknown dangers remained.
Yet by their faith and by their toil they had survived the
rigors of the rash New England winter. Hence they paused
in their labors to give thanks for the blessings that had been,
beStowed upon them by Divine Providence.
This year, as the harvest draws near its close and the
year approaches its end, awesome perils again remain to be
faced. Yet we have, as in the past, ample reason to be thank-ful
for the abundance of our blessings. We are grateful for
the blessings of faith and health and strength and for the
imperishable spiritual gifts of love and hope.
We give thanks, too, for our freedom as a nation; for
the strength of our arms and the faith of our friends, for
the beliefs and confidence we share; for our determination
to stand firmly for what we believe to be right and to resist
mightily what we believe to be base; and for the heritage
of liberty bequeathed by our ancestors which we are privi-leged
to preserve for our children and our children's children,
I urge all citizens to make this Thanksgiving not merely
a holiday from their labors, but rather a day of contempla,
tion. I ask the head of each family to recount to his children
the story of the first New England Thanksgiving, thus to
impress upon future generations the heritage of this nation
born in toil, in danger, in purpose, and in the conviction that
right and justice and freedom can through man's efforts per
severe and come to fruition with the blessing of God.
Let us observe this day with reverence and with prayer
that will rekindle in us the will and show us the way not
only to preserve our blessings, but to extend them to the four
corners of the earth. Let us by our example, as well as by
our material aid, assist all peoples of all nations who are
striving to achieve a better life in freedom.

Senate President Keim Summarizes
NSA Structure, Political Implications
by Jim Keim
This is supposed to be an "objective" article
about the National Student Association (NSA) —
quite a large task. The NSA has gotten its fingers
into almost everybody's pie so that probably the
best approach is to begin with the organizational
divisions and then discuss the general political tenor
of its declarations.
The legislative and policy making body of NSA
is the National Student Congress. It meets annually
during summer vacation and is comprised of dele-gates
selected by either the student government or
the entire student body of member schools.
There are also a Congress Steering Committee,
the Supervisory Board, and the National Officers
and advisors. Among the last category are Arthur
S. Flemming, Rev. T. M. Kesburgh, C.S.C. (pres-ident
of Notre Dame), and Ursell Kirk (of NATION-AL
REVIEW).
The continuing year-round services for students
include the Student Government Information Service
(a lending library of original material on the programs
of other colleges), the Educational Travel Bureau
(low cost tour and travel arrangements for students
who want to work, study, or travel abroad), an in-surance
program, and a direct discount service (both
at home and abroad.
Besides these the Publications Department puts
out numerous books on student government and
rights, international affairs, higher education, and
community involvement.
The administrative budget runs about $225,000
of which $18,000 comes from membership dues and
$180,000 from contributions and grants from such
organizations as the Ford Foundation, AFL-CIO,
National Institute of Mental Health, and the Depart-ments
of State and Health, Education and Welfare.
Now this is pretty innocent. It doesn't account
at all for the furvor over NSA. What is it that has
caused the sensation?
There are two factors. One, the National Student
Congress passes resolutions concerning everything
from student rights and academic affairs to foreign
policy. The national office is then empowered to
promote the policy both in lobbying and in educa-tional
material to member student leaders.
It is the content of these resolutions which has
caused so much discussion of Bethel's place in the
NSA.
The past summer the most controversial motions
concerned the draft, Viet Nam, Black Power, and
marijuana. The last of these has caused the interest
at Bethel. From all reports, the resolution concluded
that "marijuana is no more dangerous to health
than beer and other alcoholic beverages. Laws pro-hibiting
the sale of marijuana to non-minors should
be repealed." (NSA News)

Election Results:
Off-year elections have always
been better for the ousted party
than for the incumbents (which
should allay any Democratic fears
for 1970), and this year's election
has obviously not been an excep-tion.
Gaining 45 seats in the House,
three seats in the Senate and six
new governorships, the Republican
Party has — well, frankly — it's
Nixon in '68.
Science:
Gemini 12, next to the last in
a series of pre-moon flights, ap-pears,
despite minor difficulties,
to be another successful step
in our reaching the moon. At
five miles per second, pilot Edin
E. (Buzz) Aldrin stood' in his
open cockpit for two hours and
twenty minutes taking snapshots
of the "heavenly bodies" while
his flight partner, James A. Lov-e!,
manned the controls.
Perhaps in '68 or '69 the United
States will have a man on the
moon. Twenty years ago this was
unthinkable but, yes, now it is,
about to be realized — due to our
administration's "Iunartic," space
program.
Sports?:
It's that time of year again:
Inter-institutional warriors have
pounded their peers, for months,
in fierce combat — all in prepara-tion
for the coming big ones.
Which will it be: Rose Bowl? Or-ange
Bowl? Cotton Bowl? Rice
Bowl? What Bowl? — Rice Bowl.
Yes, this year there has been
a new bowl game added: the U.S.
Doves vs. the V.C. Hawks. Al-ready
the men are under intense
training and, as usual, pre-game
pranks have been the vogue.
The purpose of the big game is
to celebrate the coming of harvest,
and the prize is 2.6 million tons of
rice. A crowd of 50,000 is expected
at the Mekong Delta Stadium.
by Leonard Sammons
There is no doubt in most of
our minds that the Bethel College
Student Center is a dead place.
The bookstore is properly isolated
and cast a forboding air around,
it; the Coffee Shop consists of
white walls, tables, chairs, benches,
and little else; and the lounge
has chairs, benches, and tables in
constant disarray in what must
prove to the visitors who walk
through the misplaced entrance to
be an apalling sight.
Yet the situation has remained
status quo and no one has seemed
to care. Though a Presidential Can-didate
included Coffee Shop re-form
in his platform, he was de-feated
and nothing more has been
done. Then last week an inspired
Senate established a committee to
look into the Coffee Shop and it
the Senate on what could
be done.
The committee of Linda Olson,
Priscilla Anderson, and Bill Led-kins
met with Mr. Eugene John-son
and came up with some
good ideas in a week's time—a
giant task for which they are
to be complimented.
Their report included as sugges-tions
removing the ugly parti-tion
separating the Coffee Shop
from the lounge, painting the
walls, having art exhibits, revising
the floor plan, and revising the
lighting.
Miss Olson, mentioning that the
coffee shop lacks personality sug-gested
having a "folksy-type pro-prietor"
behind the counter. Mon-ey
to finance these things would
come from the Senate, the admin-istration,
and special events. Later
in new business a motion by Miss
Olson to establish a committee to
study special Saturday night events
in the coffee shop was approved.
Also this week the Senate dis-cussed
this column. Dick Schultz
and Jim Keim implied that false.
hood has appeared in this col-umn.
However, neither of them
mentioned any examples. It
should be added that they were
not asked to but even if they
had they would not have been
able to give any because this
observer has written no false-hood
in this column, excepting
possibly when the Senate as a
whole has been misinformed,
and he deeply resents this smear
campaign.
A report from the treasurer,
Miss Teri Mounce, showed that
Homecoming made a profit of
more than $1000. This money,
then, is unbudgeted surplus.
Therefore, our Senate saw fit to
give $700 to the hockey team,
whom this observer feels will be
able to put it to good use.
The last attempt of the noble
cause to get Bethel out of the .
National Students Association fail-ed.
Because for the first time since
March 15, 1966, the roll-call vote
was resorted to, an accurate ac-count
can be made of who was
on which side.
Those who stood up in these
trying moments when the motion
to leave was defeated 12-4 were
John Sailhamer, Ken Lewis, Bill
Ledkins, and Dave Anderson. May
the NSA issue be left dead now
until next year.
From this some have 'concluded
that the name of Bethel is being
dirtied. Others fail to be bothered
by our association.
The problem of our member-ship
in such an organization will
come home in a different form
very shortly. Resolutions passed
by the National Student Con-gress
are to be sent to member
schools for approval or disap-prova
I.
So the question appears again,
writ large: "Does the Senate or
Student Body wish to identify it-self
with any political position?"
That, I think is the old and new
question of NSA.

To the Editor:
I'm not sure why I'm writing this
letter — probably to attempt to
create more sensitivity on the part
of individuals who think the Phy-sical
Education Department is only
a place to give vent to their frus-trations.
If I had a title to this
short dissertation it would be
"Thoughts While Proctoring a Test
for Miss Anderson on Friday, Nov-ember
11, 1966, 8:45 a.m."
All was relatively quiet as the
students started their mid-semes-ter
exam. As they pondered over
their questions, the following went
on:
1) Suddenly from the adjoining
room came the extremely loud
throb of the punching bag! Dur-ing
a lecture this helps to keep
students awake but during at test
—NO.
2) The chapel organist at 9:10
pulled out all the stops and must
have thought she was in the Min-neapolis
Auditorium. The music
was great—but not during a mid-semester
exam. She did stop the
moment I mentioned the test
Thanks.
3) The maintenance men (bless
their hearts, I love them all) must

earth-moving equipment to da
something in the gym. They are

Last week, in chapel, the 1966
Minnesota Project of the "Faith
In Life Dialogue" was presented.
The film "Care of the City" was
an excellent introduction to this
November project known as the
"TWIN CITIES TOWN MEETING."
One of the curses of urbaniza-tion
has been a breakdown in in-ter-
personal communication. Feel-ings
of anonymity, helplessness,
and the "lonely crowd" syndrome
plague us. The purpose of the
Town Meeting project is to create
a climate of interest, concern, and
communication or dialogue about
the many problems of modern ur-ban
living.
Many of the ideas of the Town
Meeting come from the German
Protestant Lay Academies which
were formed in Germany im-mediately
after World War II.
The academies sought to re-eval-uate
the place of religion in
solving the many complex prob-lems
of society.
In addition, the project is based
on three previous experiments:
Brookings, South Dakota, 1963
Fargo-Moorehead, 1964; and the
Duluth-Northern Lakes Area, 1965.
Cities all across the nation are
observing the Twin Cities this
month, and many of them are plan-ning
similar programs in the near
future.
The director of the project is
Reverend Loren E. Halvorson, a
Lutheran minister who spent sev-eral
years working closely with
one of the German lay academies
Although the project is non-sectar-ian,
it does seek to encourage
people to seek answers to moral
and social issues from the pers-pectives
of their particular con-victions
and/or religious faith.
The purpose is not primarily
one of social action, but rather
one of EDUCATION, both initial
and, hopefully, continuing edu-cation
of Twin Cities residents.
The instruments for performing
this task are many: college semi-nars,
school assemblies, radio and
television programs, neighborhood
discussion groups, civic, religious,
the greatest guys on campus but
they overdid it this morning.
4) The chapel choir apparently,
needed practice and of this I am
in favor — I appreciate the music
department! I suggested to the stu-dent
director that he move to the
gymnasium to practice. He prompt-ly
suggested I move my class.
I will give his indignant attitude
the benefit of a doubt and hope it
was a result of his concern to do
well as an aspiring conductor. (He
came to me after chapel and apol-ogized
— I appreciated his apology
and understand the pressure that
was on him as he, for the first
time, directed chapel choir.)
Their indispensible robes were
in the classroom where the test
was being taken. My hard heart
mellowed and I let the choir in
for their robes — SO, as at least
80 feet stomped to the robe closet,
and the organist bellowed out
"Finlandia," Miss Anderson's stu-dents
tried hard to formulate on
paper their thoughts on Oberteuf-fer's
and Ulrich's philosophy about
the American belief in self-direc-tion,
self-realization, and self- dis-cipline.
(Forgive me for revealing
part of a test question — John
Carmean was absent.)
I guess my plea is really this —
when the new campus becomes a
and professional organizations, lit-erature,
recommended books and
motion pictures, and so on.
Bethel students are urged to
become actively involved in this
significant experiment. A faith
which is not expressed and applied
to the everyday problems of life
soon becomes irrelevant and sick-ly.
The Faith In Life Dialogue may
become a major help in planning
church renewal.
A schedule of the many radio
and TV broadcasts is posted on
the Social Sciences Bulletin
Board. Several of the TV pro-grams
will feature a "feedback"
survey in which the viewers may
register their viewpoints by
punching out a perforated card
which will then be mailed in for
computation of the results. Area
newspapers are also carrying
many related articles. Many area
churches, including several of
our Conference churches, have
formed discussion groups.
Further information, literature,
and a 43 page study guide may be
obtained from the nearby Town
Meeting office at 2477 Como Ave-nue.
The telephone number is 645.

Mrs. Turritin will be the German
instructor until Miss Effie Nelson
recovers from her illness.
Mrs. Turritin will be teaching
elementary and intermediate Ger-man.
Previous to Bethel she taught
for three years at Augsburg
lege, and has just finished an-other
replacement duty at St.
Catherine's College.
She has her B.A. from the Uni-versity
of Wisconsin and her M.A.
from the University of Minnesota.
In the meantime, Miss Nelson
will be recovering in Midway Hos-reality,
I hope it will not include
a multipurpose building such as
we have now.
As I close this letter to the
strains of "America the Beautiful"
(a favorite song of mine) I realize
I am late for chapel so I will
promptly make haste from this
classroom to our worship service.

rebel — I'm not! As Walter Cron-kite
would say, "This is the way it
was on November 11, 1966."
Sincerely,
Miss Starr
To the Editor,
As I walked out of chapel thiq
morning, (Tuesday, November 8)
I felt very uneasy. I agreed with
both speakers concerning their
hate for the evil of war. But I
thought of the Christian boys over
in the Viet Nam who, according to
many, should breathe a prayer of
confession as they pull the trigger;
What kind of Christian willfully
sins over and over and dares ask
God again and again for forgive-ness?
Perhaps a 11 Christians
should become pacifists? I person-ally
don't know.
Is killing in such a war sin?
What is our Christian duty to our
country? What about the Canaan-ite
destruction of long ago? Does
the new covenant of grace nullify
divine sanction of any war? If we
as a nation were to pull out of
Viet Nam, would the results be
more evil than the war conditions
right now?
Obviously, I'm confused. But I
feel Christianity, somewhere, holds
the answer. Today, Viet Nam, on
Christian grounds, was condemned.
But we still have a war. Christians
are still pulling triggers, and vot-ing
levers for candidates who sup-port
the war. What would Christ

To the Editor,
Like all transfer students, I have
been critically appraising Bethel
since my arrival in September.
And frankly, I like most of what
I see and hear.
However, I have noticed that the
disease common to higher educa-tion
has reached epidemic propor-tions
on our campus. It is usually
called pseudosophistication.
The main symptom is the failure
on the part of the students to re-spond
or react outwardly to any-thing,
whether it be intellectual,
spiritual, even recreational.
I assume the cause is fear of
negative opinion from one's peers.
I prescribe a large dose of courage
and honesty for all Bethelites, my-self
included.

There is a standard against which we should regularly test basic
issues of foreign policy. That standard is the historical and continuous
struggle of human beings for freedom and dignity. This must be our
basis in confronting Breshnev and Kosygin. We are right because the
history of man proves it.
Domestic issues must also be measured against man's historic
struggle for liberty. For the history of the advance of world Communism
overwhelmingly provides the evidence that they will seize upon any
situation approximating dissent for propaganda purposes.
In seeking to improve tomorrow, it is our duty to remember
where we have been and reflect on where we are. Our goals are set
forth in the Declaration and buttressed by a Constitution, a sys-tem
of checks and balances which permits the continuation of western
civilization's spirited dialogue. This unhampered dialogue makes
possible the opportunity to continuously approximate our moral and
spiritual goals.
For we live in that instant of time when it can be said that never
before have 190 million people enjoyed so much material benefits
however imperfect their distribution. The multiplication of consumer
wealth, however, is subordinate to our greatest accomplishment — the►
fashioning of the law society. There is an obligation to that law society.
No society, free or tyrannical, can give its citizens the "right" to
break the law. There can be no law to which obedience is optional; no
command to which the States attach an "if you please."
But what has happened to us? Why is it necessary at this time
to repeat what should be axiomatic and accepted? What is the re-sponsibility
of a citizen? Unequivocally the continuing social task
for the morally sensitive citizen is to impart reality to the yet un-achieved
ideal of full and equal participation by all and in all our
values and opportunities. There are no easy solutions for man's in-humanity
to man.
There is nothing new in violence. Throughout mankind's history
it has been too often a way of life. Whole continents have been involved
in riot, rebellion and revolution. A large part of the world lives behind
the ugly iron and bamboo curtains of Communism.
But this cannot justify terror in the North or in the South. No
individual or group at any time, for any reason, has a right to exact
self-determined retribution. All too often retaliation injures the innocent
at random and provokes counter-retaliation against those equally in+
nocent.
Our imperfections do not license tearing down the structures
which have given us our progress. The only solution is the free and
open law society.
In this frame of reference let us identify certain current forces
whose aim is to destroy the law society.
The inexorable requirement of Communism to exploit every dif,
ference betwen men should now be clearly understood. Yet we seem
to be surprised, confused, even bitter about Communist intervention
in our civil rights problems. What could be a more natural target for
Communist usage?
Ethnological warfare is a widely exploited revolutionary tactic.
To the Communist all means are justified by the end — a basic con-cept
we of the law society reject. These Communists have many
imitators. Those who reject our legal methods and choose terror,
force, violence, hate and bigotry only play into the hands of the
international Communist conspiracy.
The jungle lawlessness of the frontier demonstrated to the pioneers
that only the installation of American juridical proceedings would
enable them to weld together the disparate territories into one na-tion.
I am deeply troubled by certain concepts which have sought ac-ceptability:
"Freedom Now" and "Righteous Civil Disobedience".
"Freedom Now" is an illusion. The desire for self-expression
can be satisfied only in an atmosphere of freedom, and freedom is
not absolute. It exists only within the confines of the necessary
restraining measures of society. The cry for immediacy is the cry
for impossibility. What is possible is to continue to patiently build
the structures that permit the development of beter jusice.
What about the concept of "righteous civil disobedience?"
It seems to me that there is an inherent contradiction in the con-cept
of premeditated, "righteous", civil disobedience. Such a concept
is wholly incompatible with the concept of the American legal system.
This is particularly axiomatic in a society such as ours where
the law is not static and where, if it is claimed to be oppressive or
coercive, many effective channels for change are constantly available.
Our legislatures have regularly met the changing times and changing
needs of the society with consideration for the unalienable rights
of all. Our law has not only been a guardian of freedom, but the
affirmative agent for freedom.
A grave danger is presented where the idea of civil disobedience
may evoke sympathy in a cause which seems just.
For once we accept such a doubtful doctrine, we legitimatize it
for other causes which should be rejected. We would set a standard
of conduct which then must become acceptable for all. Thus we sub-stitute
pressure for persuasion and squander the carefully nurtured
value of self-restraint and jeopardize the system of law.
Our grievances must be settled in the courts and not in the
streets. Muscle is no substitute for morality. We must insist
that men use their minds — not their biceps.

What Plagues College Men?-the Draft
Page 4 the CLARION Thursday, November 17, 1966
by Roberta Parks
If you have been hearing a lot
of loud groans lately, if you've
been seeing a lot of sick looks on
otherwise healthy faces, there's a
good reason: the Bethel class of
1970 are either presently taking,
or have just taken, their first col•
lege mid-terms.
The mention of the very word
`mid-term' can strike terror into
the heart of the innocent, unsus-pecting,
and unprepared.
Immediately thoughts of that
little extra studying that could
have been done creep disturb-ingly
into the mind and it is
with by no means a mild dread
of the unknown that many Beth-el
freshmen faced their first
"cram" sessions.
After some tests had been tak-en,
reactions varied from feeling
that they were "Kind of fun"
to loud groans and that limp,
empty, tired feeling. The majority
of the students were simply glad
to have them over and done with.
Many felt that they were good
preparation for semester finals and
a good chance to discover what,
percent of the facts you were sup-posed
to have assimilated you ac-tually
had. Some specific and in-dividual
reactions were: "Uhg,"
WASHINGTON (CPS) — There
seems to be no direct relationship
between high grades in college and
professional success in later life,
two recent studies indicate.
Dr. Eli Ginzberg, a New York
researcher, studied a group of
Columbia University graduate stu-dents
who had won fellowships to
the school between 1944 and 1950.
Ginzberg's task was to find out
how successful the 342 students
had become 14 years after they
completed their fellowships.
The findings showed students
who had graduated from college
with honors, who had won schol-astic
medals or who had been
elected to Phi Beta Kappa were
more likely to be in the "lower
professional performance levels"
than students who had not dis-tinguished
themselves while in
college.
In another survey, a team of
University of Utah professors
found there is almost no relation-ship
between the grades a medical
student gets and his later per-formance.
This finding startled the leader
of the research team, Dr. Phillip
B. Price. He called it a "shocking
finding to a medical educator like
myself who has spent his pro-fessional
life selecting applicants
for admission to medical school."
He added that the study caus-ed
him to question the adequacy
of grades not only in selecting
those who should be admitted
to medical school but also in
measuring a student's progress.
There are numerous theories at-tempting
to explain these surpris-ing
findings. The most common
one affirms that the over-emphasis
on grades which begins when a
student is in junior high schooll
and continues throughout his aca-demic
career tends to destroy in-terest
in learning for its own sake.
John Holt, an educator and
author of "Why Children Fail,"
observes that current school meth-
"Help," "I feel brainwashed," and
"What exceptional (!?) tests."
Many freshmen were bothered
by sections of the tests. A usual
complaint was that it was hard
to concentrate and do your best
when in a room with a hundred
and fifty other people.
While a majority felt that the
tests were fair, a sizable group
felt that too many unimportant
details were added at the expense
of really important concepts.
Another frequent complaint was
that there was too much pressure
because the tests were too close
together.
Approximately half of the stu-dents
interviewed felt that the
mid-terms weren't as nightmar-ish
as had been expected. About
seventy percent felt that they
were no harder than a high
school test covering the same
amount of material and most felt
that the teachers had done a
good job preparing them for
their first college mid-terms.
Taken in total, it seems that
there exists a feeling that while
mid-terms aren't exactly the nicest
things in the world, they do serve
a purpose and since they are in-escapable,
there's no use fighting
them.
ods destroy love of learning by
encouraging students to work for
petty rewards — names on honor
rolls, gold staffs, for the "ignoble
satisfaction of feeling they are bet-ter
than someone else."
The Student Missionary Project
for the summer of 1967 was out-lined
in chapel Wednesday, Nov-ember
2. The purposes of the Stu-dent
Missionary Service Program
can be classed according to the
groups of people who benefit from
it. These are (1) the missionaries,
(2) the participating students, and
(3) the returning students' campus
and community.
One of the major goals of the
program is to help the missionary
accomplish more of his main pur-pose
during the summer—whether
this is in the form of medical
work, Bible translating, or direct
evangelization.
The student frequently can take
an active part in the mission-ary's
activities. More often, how-ever,
the student is able to help
by doing many of the time con-suming
tasks necessary for living
which keep the missionary from
his primary job.
It is also hoped that the student
will prove helpful in a way not
nearly as evident: in providing
youth, new ideas, and opportunity
for exchange and sharing of con-temporary
thoughts.
Lastly, the missionaries will have
the chance of expressing their own
concern to someone who, after be-ing
personally involved in the
work for several weeks, will be
returning to the States, where this
by Don Looser
It wasn't exactly a psychiatric
ward; it was just a college infirm,
ary room with no windows and a
6'4" male nurse. It had all started
innocently enough with a gorgeous
fall morning — the kind that
makes you wish you were any-where
but where you are. It was
so wonderful that I decided to get
up for breakfast for the first time
that semester.
As I padded down the hall in my
Bermuda shorts and Indian mocca-sins
(a gift of my Indian-in-law
uncle), I had the great misfortune
to encounter our dorm director. I
don't know what yours looks like,
but ours resembled a runner-up
for the Abominable Snowman A-ward.
He said that the folks had
written him wanting to know why
I had not written since first sem-ester.
(Actually, I had written them
the night before — asking for
money.)
So I promised to write, but
this shot all prospects of an en-same
information can be passed
on to others.
Whether definitely planning
for this type of work as a voca-tion,
or trying to decide on this
matter, the student participat-ing
in this program is given a
graphic picture of mission work,
and is helped in determining
God's place for him in this
world-wide work of the Church.
He is enabled, of course, to pray
more intelligently for the particu-lar
missionaries with vastly diverse
experiences from his own, and the
student is usually given excellent
experience in personal adjustment,
which is so vitally necessary for
the effectiveness of the Christian
and his message in any area.
Perhaps the most important aim
of the program is acquainting the
campus with what modern mis,
sions is accomplishing, and giving
other students the benefits of the
summer vicariously.
The former is especially signi-ficant
in the minds of many be-cause
of the global ideological
struggle which tends to eclipse
the importance and even the fact
of present evangelistic efforts.
Through regular campus publi-cations
(student and administra-tive),
special publications, coffee
hours, and participating in regular
meetings on campus, it is hoped
joyable breakfast; so I decided
to finish typing my term paper
before class. I went back to the
shower and started on page 42.
I don't always type in the show-er,
but it happened to be the
only place clean.
I managed to finish all but the
bibliography, so I left it in the
carriage and hustled off to English
294, Medieval Myths and Monsters
(the only course that wasn't full
when I registered). Dr. Flabber-gast
was in rare form that day .
He read twenty minutes of notes
from the wrong course before any-one
caught it.
I was grateful for the hour of
sack time, I had them lab staring
me in the face. I was already three
experiments behind because I had
taken last week off to make up a
P.E. class which I had missed the
week before because I had to study
for a make-up exam which I had
missed because I got interested in
a tennis tournament and forgot
floor lab, skipped lunch to have
that the student body, faculty, and
staff obtain a more precise picture
of world missions as well as a feel-ing
of greater personal responsi-bility
toward it.
Off campus these same ends are
met by formal and informal speak
ing engagements in local churches,
schools, service organizations, and
other colleges and universities. In
this latter area it is expected that
the Gospel itself is often present-ed
to many who are not in direct
contact with it.
Both off and on campus, the
individual student can do even
more to accomplish these pur-poses
by personal contact with
other students.
Through these various methods,
the program attempts to unite the
entire student body in one evan-gelical
effort.

Anyway, I charged to the third
extra time for the four experi-ments
I had to do.
The first three went by like a
breeze (especially considering
the fact that I had forgotten my
lab manual). However, on the
fourth, disaster struck. I had
leaned out the window to get
some fresh air and to talk to
my suitemate, who was running
on the nearby dorm roof.
When I turned around, I ran
right into a flask of sulfuric some-thing;
and the sodium whatever-it-
was that I held mixed with it;
and before I knew it, the tile floor
was bubbling; the white smoke was
everywhere; the lab assistant was
screaming not to move; and I was
racing for the dorm.
Back in the room, there was a
note from my roomate, "Apollo,"
saying that he was at the lake,
water skiing with the girl I had
been dating lately. In the mail
was an overdrawn slip from my
bank (I had forgotten to write
down the check I wrote for tuition).
and a memo from my draft board
saying that my grades for the first
semester were not good enough to
exempt me and that I was 1-A
again.
Well, how could a guy rest
with all that on his mind. So, I
decided to finish my biblio-graphy.
I should have noticed
the wet towel in the corner,
but I didn't, so it was quite a
shock when I pulled back the
shower curtain and saw my term
paper.
It wasn't wet actually. They had
dried it in the clothes dryer in
the basement, so it actually looked
more like the Magna Carta. Well,
I couldn't do it over because I had
gotten an extension already. So, I
retyped the bibliography, soaked
it in the basin, and took it down
to the dryer to age while I ate
dinner.
Ordinarily, I can take the food
in the dorm. But there is one thing
that I hate — PLASTIC POTA-TOES!
You know, the kind that
come in a box and you add water
or peach juice, or whatever is left
from lunch. Well, I started laugh-ing.
And I couldn't stop. On top of
everything else, that was it!
So, when they finally decided
that I needed some help, they
started carrying me back to my
room. Then I started screaming
for someone to get my term
paper out of the clothes dryer.
That's when they brought me
here. It's not bad. There are five
mattresses here — one on the floor
and four on the walls. I'm really
fine now. They are going to let
me out this afternoon. They have
to. I've been drafted.

Harriers Finish Third In AAU Meet;
Johnson and Swanson Lead Team
by Jerry Loomis
This past Saturday the fifth an-nual
Senior Mens A.A.U. Cross
Country Champoniships were held
at Como Park. The Royal harriers
participated in the men's champ?
ionship event, and also five mem-bers
of Bethel's fragile sex ran in
the women's competition.
The men's competition was 10,-
000 meters in length and was run
over the many hills which make
up the Como Park golf course,
To make matters worse, the course
was completely covered with snow
and the temperature was a mere .
10 degrees above zero.
Bethel competed as a team a-gainst
St. Cloud and White Bear
Lake. Also, there were two indi-vidual
runnners from River Falls
and the University of Minnesota,
one from Bemidji State and Wino-na,
and one unattached runner
who participated. As a team, the
Royals came in third as they scor-ed
51 points in comparison to St .
Cloud's 19 and White Bear Lake's
50.
Finishing first in the competi-tion
was St. Cloud's Van Nelson.

Nelson is rated as one of the

His time was almost three

In fact, one of Bethel's runners
told me that when Nelson finished.
he still had 1.25 miles left to run
and 12 other participants in the
race were farther behind than he
was. Eight of those twelve didn't
finish.
The best finish for Bethel was
fourteenth by Steve Johnson with
a time of 43:44. Steve led the race
for the first 100 yards, only to
be overtaken by Nelson, who pro-ceeded
to lead the race from that
point on.
Four other Bethel runners fin-ished
the race. Rich Swanson took
sixteenth with a time of 44:07,
Steve Roe took twenty-first with
a time of 46:02.5, Dave Moulton
finished twenty-second at 47:00.

Next week, the Como Park golf
course is once again the site for
the NAIA District 13 Champion-ship.
The meet will be held at
11:00 a.m. on Saturday, and will
be the Royals' last meet for the
1966 season.
Switching to the Women's AAU
Championship, we find that a four-teen
yar old Minnetonka Junior
High School girl won first place
honors. Young Jill Lindquist won
the one-mile event with a time
of 8:07.8.
The first girl to finish for Beth-el
was Cindy Karlsson. She took
fourth place with a time of 8:42.
The other four Royal lasses took
sixth, seventh, eight and ninth
places respectively.
Ruth Ness covered the mile in
9:30, Marcia Rieth in 9:45, Mari-lyn
Edgar in 9:46, and Sandy Spur-geon
in 9:47. Congratulations to
these for the fine efforts they put
out under such horrid weather
conditions to honor our school.
In addition to the AAU Cross
Country Championships, the men's
intramural meet was held this past
Saturday. A disappointing number
of six participated in the event.
The meet was won by the old
wing of Edgren's third floor. They
were the only men who fielded a
team.
Norm Kern of First New won
first place honors in covering the
2.1 mile distance in 16:21. Wally
Borner of Third New and Gaylord
Anderson of Third Old tied for
second just one second behind
Norm at 16:22.
John Cowan took third with a
time of 17:18, Woody Dahlberg
took fourth at 17:22 and Mike
Damberg finished fifth with a time
of 17:45. All three of these partici-pants
represented Third Old.

The Seminary beat Phelps 1-0
in overtime, on a snow-covered
field to win the intramural foot-ball
championship.
Both teams were unable to pen-etrate
within the other's 20 yard
line during the regular game, but
a 6 yard pass from Duane Johnson
to Bruce Ericson gave the Semin-ary
enough yardage to win the
game.
The long kicks of Phelps punt-er,
Paul Bunger, and the Phelps
defense contained the Seminary
within its own territory for the
entire first half. Phelps, how-ever,
could not move against the
Seminary either.
In the second half, both teams
had good chances to score, but
their own mistakes cost them vic-tory.
Phelps end, Craig Anderson,
caught a pass on the Phelps 25,
and raced down the sideline to
near the Seminary end zone, but
an offside penalty nullified the
play. Near the end of the game
Dennis Port intercepted a pass
for the Seminary on the Phelps
35.
A few plays later Gary Pang-burn
picked off a Duane John-son
pass, and carried the ball
back into Seminary territory.
But Duane Johnson caught one
of Pangburn's passes, and after
a few plays, time ran out.
Phelps won the toss for the
overtime period, and elected to
let the Seminary run their series
first. Lynn Bergfalk caught John-son
behind the line for a ten
yard loss on first down.
On the next play, Dave Kastelien
brought the ball back to the la
yard line. Then Ericson made his
catch on the 24. The last Seminary
pass was knocked down by Pang-burn.
Phelps' first three passes were
incomplete, and Mark Coleman in-tercepted
on the last play to
guarantee the Seminary victory.

star Jerry Moulton at Howard
Lake.
So much for the coaching —
now for the schedule. The sea-son
promises to provide the
Royals with their best competi-tion
since the days of "Wally
Pete." Four 1965-66 conference
champions are included on the
slate.
Included are Stout State (Wis-consin
State University Athletic
Conference), St. Thomas (MIAC),
Carleton (Midwest Conference),
and the University of Windsor (0-
QAA or Ontario Quebec Athletic
Association).
In addition, the likes of UMM,
Bemidji, and River Falls are no
patsies. Royal fans might well re-member
the two thrillers with U-MM
last year — and the Cougars
are strong again.
Bemidji finished second only
to a very tough St. Cloud outfit
in the NIC (Northern Intercol-legiate
Conference). And River
Falls? The Wisconsin boys hold
a current 8 game streak over the
Royals and 11 of the last 12
contests.
Hamline, Westmar, Manitoba,
and Dordt of Iowa, Carleton, and
the U of Windsor are all on the
Blue and Gold schedule for the
first time. Another first will be
the "February Fly-In" to Bemidji
on February 9.
Sports publicist Malcom Avey
expects to have 32 students (in
addition to the team) signed up
for a charter flight to Bemidji.
The cost will be $16 apiece.
Now for the material — Co-captain
Dave Bjorklund and
sophomore middle guard Ron
"Huey" Pederson will lead the
66-67 charge. 6' 1" Bjorklund,
steady rebounder and scorer for
four years, is currently teaming
with ballhawk Edgar Peterman
at guard.
Pederson, the 6' 6" defensive
middle guard on the gridiron,
performs admirably at either cen-ter
or forward on the hardwood.
6' 5" senior center Tom Hagen
and 6' 2" Dick Robertson current-ly
round out the first unit.
Counted on for considerable ac-tion
are sophomore guard John
Bjorklund, junior David Living-ston,
senior guards Cabot Dow and
Ray Peterson, and 6' 4" Dave
Moulton. Freshman Tim Weko, a
6' 6" Gibralter, Wisconsin product,
has shown fine potential. Larry
Johnson, a 6' 6" junior transfer
and 6' 1" Bruce Nelson are other
hopefuls.
So there you have it — new
coaches, tough schedule, "Febru-ary
Fly-In", and promising poten,
tial — all the college has to do
is support the squad (which is
asking quite a bit, nicht wahr?).

Ah! Another step towards the appeasement of the Royal
sports fan is in the making on the Bethel sports scene. No
longer will he be forced to languish before the paper or
TV for "second hand" thrills once the violent Bethel grid
season is packed away in mothballs; this winter first-hand
thrills of perhaps even greater magnitude than that of the
climatic football season will be provided by a "fledgling"
hockey team.
According to official Bethel sports publicist Malcolm J.
Avey, the team was founded last winter when a few hardy
Canadians and local Minnesotans started a hockey team to add
excitement to the annual Sno-Daze festivities.
A thrilling win over St. Olaf aroused school support and
a second game was scheduled with River Falls. Again the
pucksters responded with a victory, giving them an un-blemished
record in their initial season.
This year enthusiasm is at an even higher pitch, and the
team has expanded in numbers and support. The Student Sent
ate has alotted $250.00 to help cover practice expenses, and
the team is selling booster buttons to help pay for the $700
worth of equipment they have ordered.
Key players in the upcoming campaign include goal ten-der
Carl Smith, a graduate from Minnehaha Academy, where
he lettered in the same position. Don Bester, a senior from
Canada, will play forward. Don's shoulder was injured in
last year's River Fall's battle, and he has been waiting for;
another crack at the Falcons.
Ken Rutz, a returning defense man from St. Paul
Washington, will be a big man in front of the nets. Doug
Gordh, a graduate of Ramsey High of St. Paul, will return
to his left wing position. Larry Schultz, another Canadian,
will play center and supply scoring punch. He insists the
extra hairs he has lost will streamline his play on the ice,
while others rumor it is a sign of advancing age. Additional
freshmen and sophomores make the season outlook a bright
one.
The first game is with Hamline on December 2, and the
icemen need the support of all Bethel sports fans hungering
for action and excitement. This season is a crucial one in
putting Bethel hockey on the intercollegiate level. Good sup ,
port from the student body may help influence the ad minis ,
tration to sponsor the team next year.

College ChoirAnticipates
Autumn Concert, Touring
The Bethel College Choir under,
the direction of Dr. Robert Berg-lund
will present its fall concert
on November 21, at 8:00 p.m. in
the fieldhouse.
The fall concert effort is a rela-tively
new tradition to the college
choir which in past years has con-fined
itself strictly to the per-formance
of sacred music. The
fall concert is primed for a wide
range of musical taste.
Pops music will be highlighted
by Gershwin's "Rhapsody in
Blue". Romantic selections will
include Brahm's "Gipsy Songs",
and "Sure On This Shining
Night" by Agee.
"Polovetsian Dance and Chorus"
from the opera "Prince Igor" cre-ated
by Russian nationalist com-poser
Alexander Borodin will also
be performed in addition to selec-tions
of a religious nature — Mas-cagne's
"Lord, Now Victorious"
for two choirs, and several Ren-naissance
numbers.
The Fall Concert tradition is an
effort by the college choir to dem-onstrate
its competence as a Chris-tian
choir in the wide-ranging
world of secular and religious mu-sic.
Dr. Berglund states that the
concert is not intended to pro-vide
a spiritual experience only,
but also to provide an oppor-tunity
for students to participate
in an aesthetic experience.
The college choir has been en-gaged
in a regrouping of forces
as many voices are new to the
organization. Dr. Berglund is hope,
ful that this year's choir will deg
velop its own sound and have its
own distinct personality from
choirs in past years.
Next Spring the choir will make
a tour to California. In the future,
the choir is planning a trip to
Europe as the Male Chorus did
last year.

Grand Duchy of Luxembourg—
The American Student Information
Service, with headquarters in the
Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is
now accepting applications from
U.S. college students who wish to
work in Europe next summer.
The ASIS can place students in
temporary summer work in Great
Britain, France, Germany, Switzer-land,
Italy, Spain, Sweden, Finland
Norway, Luxembourg, Belgium,
Holland, Austria, Israel and Liech-tenstein.
ASIS has many new job open-ings
within categories that in-clude
resort hotel work, office
work, factory work, hospital
work, child care work, ship
work, construction work, farm
work, sales work, and camp
counseling work.
Wages range to $400 a month
for the highest paying positions in
West Germany and the working
conditions and hours are exactly
the same as those of the Europeans
with whom the students work. In
most cases room and board are
provided free but if not, the stu
dent worker lives independently in
the city where he is working. In
any case living accomodations are
prearranged.
Every student placed in a sum-mer
job in Europe attends a 5-day
orientation period in the Grand,
Duchy of Luxembourg that in-cludes
cultural orientation tours
to Germany, France, Belgium, Hol-
St. Mary's College of Winona,
Minnesota has scheduled for Dec-ember
2, 3, and 4 a seminar con-cerned
with "The American Col-lege
Student and Unbelief." Fea-tured
as a panelist and as a speak -
er will be Donal Thorman, publish-er
of the National Catholic Report-er,
acclaimed to be the emerging
voice of American liberal catholi-cism.
The seminar is sponsored by the
land and Luxembourg, blackboard
sessions, on the scene language,
practice, and lectures given by Eu-ropean
university professors.
Although there is usually no
foreign language requirement
for the jobs, students are given
the opportunity to experience
native European situations dur-ing,
the orientation period.
Blackboard sessions and talks
cover such subjects as how to
save money while in Europe,
low cost transportation, shopping
discounts and inexpensive living
accomodations.
ASIS claims that this do-it-your-self,
on the scene method of prep-aration
is the only way to adjust
rapidly to the European way of
life.
The ASIS, in its tenth year oii
operation, also supplies job ap ,
plicants, at no extra cost, with a
complete set of language records
of the language of the country in
which the applicant will be work-ing,
a student pass allowing the
bearer student discounts through-out
Europe, complete health and!
accident insurance while in Eu-rope,
and a comprehensive infor-mation
service about living and
traveling in Europe.
The ASIS also offers travel ar-rangements
that greatly reduce
the cost of the summer in Eu-rope.
Student applicants are also
free to make their own travel
arrangements to and from Eu-
National Federation of Catholic
College Students. Questions which
the seminar wishes to consider
are: What is your belief in God?
Is your faith in God really rele-vant
to your life? The news re,
lease states that the only necessary
preparation for the seminar is a
serious self appraisal.
Cost of the seminar is $1.50 per
student. Those wishing to attend

CONVOCATION
FILM
The Bethel Convocation Com-mittee
has announced a special
convocation film to be shown
Tuesday, November 22, at the
chapel hour.
The documentary, titled "A
Time For Burning," portrays the
tensions which erupted in Oma-ha
in recent years when a Lu-theran
minister attemped to ar-range
interracial visits among
Lutheran parishioners.
Tuesday, November 8, marked
the kickoff day for this year's Pre-
Seminary Student's Association,
commonly known as the Pre-Sem
Club. Elected to club offices were:
Calvin Swanson, President, Dave
Holland, vice President, Craig Car-mean,
Sec.-Treas. Also a part of
the cabinet will be Pastor Al Glenn
who was not elected to his post.
Future meetings of the club will
be held on the second Tuesday of
every month at 7:30 p.m. in the
Seminary Hall Chapel. Some flex-,
ibility of schedule will be reserved
to accomodate guest speakers.
A release by President Calvin
Swanson states the purposes of the
organization under the following
points: 1) to acquaint students with
aspects of the Christian ministry.
2) to orientate students with the
functions and structure of the sem-inary,
3) to give practical training
for immediate Christian service.
4) to foster a spiritual tone of lifq,
on campus.
President Swanson feels that the
Pre-Sem Club is an excellent op-portunity
to consider a profession
in the clergy. "One's experience
in Pre-Sem club may not give one
new possibilities for archeologi-cal
investigation.
You may help in this important
work, earn credits, make interna-,
tional friends and receive valuable

Volunteers first join a three
week seminar for training in Brio
tish archeology and excavation
techniques at Wesminster College,
Oxford. They then split up into
small groups for three or more
weeks "digging" on an archeologi-cal
site.
Total cost of the program is
685 dollars, including round-trip
air transportation from New
York. Part scholarships are a-vailable
to suitable students with
a "B" plus average.

Swanson.
Questions to be considered by
the Pre-Sem Club include: What
is a call to the ministry?, How
-does one know it?, What are good
academic majors for pre-seminary
students?, What about the Draft?,
Which seminaries might one con-sider?,
What is the scope of ser-vice
for a Seminary student?
Senate Initiates
Escort Service
This week begins the operation
at Bethel of a special escort ser-vice,
under the sponsorship of Stu-dent
Senate, to provide transporta
tion back to campus or off-campus
homes for girls who work outside
the general campus area at night.
The project was conceived as a
Bethel service when girls involved
brought to Senate attention the
very real need for rides to be
available late in the evening.
First introduced to the Senate
in October, and after passage put
under the direction of Dave C.
Anderson, the service was put into
effect following a brief presenta-tion
in chapel Tuesday morning.
Papers on which one could in-dicate
either need for a ride or
availability of a car were distri-buted
through the post office box-es
the day of the presentation.
After the initial matching, all
arrangements will be strictly be-tween
the two parties concerned,
a payment of ten cents per mile
being paid directly to the driver.
Although Bethel has not tried
this plan before, it has been used
quite successfully elsewhere, par-ticularly
at Trinity College in Chi.

Kennedy's Words Recall
Endowment of Heritage
"It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord.'
More than three centuries ago, the Pilgrims, after a year
of hardship and peril, humbly and reverently set aside a spe-cial
day upon which to give thanks to God for their preserva-tion
and for the good harvest from the virgin soil upon which
they had labored. Grave and unknown dangers remained.
Yet by their faith and by their toil they had survived the
rigors of the rash New England winter. Hence they paused
in their labors to give thanks for the blessings that had been,
beStowed upon them by Divine Providence.
This year, as the harvest draws near its close and the
year approaches its end, awesome perils again remain to be
faced. Yet we have, as in the past, ample reason to be thank-ful
for the abundance of our blessings. We are grateful for
the blessings of faith and health and strength and for the
imperishable spiritual gifts of love and hope.
We give thanks, too, for our freedom as a nation; for
the strength of our arms and the faith of our friends, for
the beliefs and confidence we share; for our determination
to stand firmly for what we believe to be right and to resist
mightily what we believe to be base; and for the heritage
of liberty bequeathed by our ancestors which we are privi-leged
to preserve for our children and our children's children,
I urge all citizens to make this Thanksgiving not merely
a holiday from their labors, but rather a day of contempla,
tion. I ask the head of each family to recount to his children
the story of the first New England Thanksgiving, thus to
impress upon future generations the heritage of this nation
born in toil, in danger, in purpose, and in the conviction that
right and justice and freedom can through man's efforts per
severe and come to fruition with the blessing of God.
Let us observe this day with reverence and with prayer
that will rekindle in us the will and show us the way not
only to preserve our blessings, but to extend them to the four
corners of the earth. Let us by our example, as well as by
our material aid, assist all peoples of all nations who are
striving to achieve a better life in freedom.

Senate President Keim Summarizes
NSA Structure, Political Implications
by Jim Keim
This is supposed to be an "objective" article
about the National Student Association (NSA) —
quite a large task. The NSA has gotten its fingers
into almost everybody's pie so that probably the
best approach is to begin with the organizational
divisions and then discuss the general political tenor
of its declarations.
The legislative and policy making body of NSA
is the National Student Congress. It meets annually
during summer vacation and is comprised of dele-gates
selected by either the student government or
the entire student body of member schools.
There are also a Congress Steering Committee,
the Supervisory Board, and the National Officers
and advisors. Among the last category are Arthur
S. Flemming, Rev. T. M. Kesburgh, C.S.C. (pres-ident
of Notre Dame), and Ursell Kirk (of NATION-AL
REVIEW).
The continuing year-round services for students
include the Student Government Information Service
(a lending library of original material on the programs
of other colleges), the Educational Travel Bureau
(low cost tour and travel arrangements for students
who want to work, study, or travel abroad), an in-surance
program, and a direct discount service (both
at home and abroad.
Besides these the Publications Department puts
out numerous books on student government and
rights, international affairs, higher education, and
community involvement.
The administrative budget runs about $225,000
of which $18,000 comes from membership dues and
$180,000 from contributions and grants from such
organizations as the Ford Foundation, AFL-CIO,
National Institute of Mental Health, and the Depart-ments
of State and Health, Education and Welfare.
Now this is pretty innocent. It doesn't account
at all for the furvor over NSA. What is it that has
caused the sensation?
There are two factors. One, the National Student
Congress passes resolutions concerning everything
from student rights and academic affairs to foreign
policy. The national office is then empowered to
promote the policy both in lobbying and in educa-tional
material to member student leaders.
It is the content of these resolutions which has
caused so much discussion of Bethel's place in the
NSA.
The past summer the most controversial motions
concerned the draft, Viet Nam, Black Power, and
marijuana. The last of these has caused the interest
at Bethel. From all reports, the resolution concluded
that "marijuana is no more dangerous to health
than beer and other alcoholic beverages. Laws pro-hibiting
the sale of marijuana to non-minors should
be repealed." (NSA News)

Election Results:
Off-year elections have always
been better for the ousted party
than for the incumbents (which
should allay any Democratic fears
for 1970), and this year's election
has obviously not been an excep-tion.
Gaining 45 seats in the House,
three seats in the Senate and six
new governorships, the Republican
Party has — well, frankly — it's
Nixon in '68.
Science:
Gemini 12, next to the last in
a series of pre-moon flights, ap-pears,
despite minor difficulties,
to be another successful step
in our reaching the moon. At
five miles per second, pilot Edin
E. (Buzz) Aldrin stood' in his
open cockpit for two hours and
twenty minutes taking snapshots
of the "heavenly bodies" while
his flight partner, James A. Lov-e!,
manned the controls.
Perhaps in '68 or '69 the United
States will have a man on the
moon. Twenty years ago this was
unthinkable but, yes, now it is,
about to be realized — due to our
administration's "Iunartic," space
program.
Sports?:
It's that time of year again:
Inter-institutional warriors have
pounded their peers, for months,
in fierce combat — all in prepara-tion
for the coming big ones.
Which will it be: Rose Bowl? Or-ange
Bowl? Cotton Bowl? Rice
Bowl? What Bowl? — Rice Bowl.
Yes, this year there has been
a new bowl game added: the U.S.
Doves vs. the V.C. Hawks. Al-ready
the men are under intense
training and, as usual, pre-game
pranks have been the vogue.
The purpose of the big game is
to celebrate the coming of harvest,
and the prize is 2.6 million tons of
rice. A crowd of 50,000 is expected
at the Mekong Delta Stadium.

There is no doubt in most of
our minds that the Bethel College
Student Center is a dead place.
The bookstore is properly isolated
and cast a forboding air around,
it; the Coffee Shop consists of
white walls, tables, chairs, benches,
and little else; and the lounge
has chairs, benches, and tables in
constant disarray in what must
prove to the visitors who walk
through the misplaced entrance to
be an apalling sight.
Yet the situation has remained
status quo and no one has seemed
to care. Though a Presidential Can-didate
included Coffee Shop re-form
in his platform, he was de-feated
and nothing more has been
done. Then last week an inspired
Senate established a committee to
look into the Coffee Shop and it
the Senate on what could
be done.
The committee of Linda Olson,
Priscilla Anderson, and Bill Led-kins
met with Mr. Eugene John-son
and came up with some
good ideas in a week's time—a
giant task for which they are
to be complimented.
Their report included as sugges-tions
removing the ugly parti-tion
separating the Coffee Shop
from the lounge, painting the
walls, having art exhibits, revising
the floor plan, and revising the
lighting.
Miss Olson, mentioning that the
coffee shop lacks personality sug-gested
having a "folksy-type pro-prietor"
behind the counter. Mon-ey
to finance these things would
come from the Senate, the admin-istration,
and special events. Later
in new business a motion by Miss
Olson to establish a committee to
study special Saturday night events
in the coffee shop was approved.
Also this week the Senate dis-cussed
this column. Dick Schultz
and Jim Keim implied that false.
hood has appeared in this col-umn.
However, neither of them
mentioned any examples. It
should be added that they were
not asked to but even if they
had they would not have been
able to give any because this
observer has written no false-hood
in this column, excepting
possibly when the Senate as a
whole has been misinformed,
and he deeply resents this smear
campaign.
A report from the treasurer,
Miss Teri Mounce, showed that
Homecoming made a profit of
more than $1000. This money,
then, is unbudgeted surplus.
Therefore, our Senate saw fit to
give $700 to the hockey team,
whom this observer feels will be
able to put it to good use.
The last attempt of the noble
cause to get Bethel out of the .
National Students Association fail-ed.
Because for the first time since
March 15, 1966, the roll-call vote
was resorted to, an accurate ac-count
can be made of who was
on which side.
Those who stood up in these
trying moments when the motion
to leave was defeated 12-4 were
John Sailhamer, Ken Lewis, Bill
Ledkins, and Dave Anderson. May
the NSA issue be left dead now
until next year.
From this some have 'concluded
that the name of Bethel is being
dirtied. Others fail to be bothered
by our association.
The problem of our member-ship
in such an organization will
come home in a different form
very shortly. Resolutions passed
by the National Student Con-gress
are to be sent to member
schools for approval or disap-prova
I.
So the question appears again,
writ large: "Does the Senate or
Student Body wish to identify it-self
with any political position?"
That, I think is the old and new
question of NSA.

Letters to the Editor:
Letters See Courtesy, War, Attitudes
To the Editor:
I'm not sure why I'm writing this
letter — probably to attempt to
create more sensitivity on the part
of individuals who think the Phy-sical
Education Department is only
a place to give vent to their frus-trations.
If I had a title to this
short dissertation it would be
"Thoughts While Proctoring a Test
for Miss Anderson on Friday, Nov-ember
11, 1966, 8:45 a.m."
All was relatively quiet as the
students started their mid-semes-ter
exam. As they pondered over
their questions, the following went
on:
1) Suddenly from the adjoining
room came the extremely loud
throb of the punching bag! Dur-ing
a lecture this helps to keep
students awake but during at test
—NO.
2) The chapel organist at 9:10
pulled out all the stops and must
have thought she was in the Min-neapolis
Auditorium. The music
was great—but not during a mid-semester
exam. She did stop the
moment I mentioned the test
Thanks.
3) The maintenance men (bless
their hearts, I love them all) must
have been using dynamite and
earth-moving equipment to da
something in the gym. They are

Last week, in chapel, the 1966
Minnesota Project of the "Faith
In Life Dialogue" was presented.
The film "Care of the City" was
an excellent introduction to this
November project known as the
"TWIN CITIES TOWN MEETING."
One of the curses of urbaniza-tion
has been a breakdown in in-ter-
personal communication. Feel-ings
of anonymity, helplessness,
and the "lonely crowd" syndrome
plague us. The purpose of the
Town Meeting project is to create
a climate of interest, concern, and
communication or dialogue about
the many problems of modern ur-ban
living.
Many of the ideas of the Town
Meeting come from the German
Protestant Lay Academies which
were formed in Germany im-mediately
after World War II.
The academies sought to re-eval-uate
the place of religion in
solving the many complex prob-lems
of society.
In addition, the project is based
on three previous experiments:
Brookings, South Dakota, 1963
Fargo-Moorehead, 1964; and the
Duluth-Northern Lakes Area, 1965.
Cities all across the nation are
observing the Twin Cities this
month, and many of them are plan-ning
similar programs in the near
future.
The director of the project is
Reverend Loren E. Halvorson, a
Lutheran minister who spent sev-eral
years working closely with
one of the German lay academies
Although the project is non-sectar-ian,
it does seek to encourage
people to seek answers to moral
and social issues from the pers-pectives
of their particular con-victions
and/or religious faith.
The purpose is not primarily
one of social action, but rather
one of EDUCATION, both initial
and, hopefully, continuing edu-cation
of Twin Cities residents.
The instruments for performing
this task are many: college semi-nars,
school assemblies, radio and
television programs, neighborhood
discussion groups, civic, religious,
the greatest guys on campus but
they overdid it this morning.
4) The chapel choir apparently,
needed practice and of this I am
in favor — I appreciate the music
department! I suggested to the stu-dent
director that he move to the
gymnasium to practice. He prompt-ly
suggested I move my class.
I will give his indignant attitude
the benefit of a doubt and hope it
was a result of his concern to do
well as an aspiring conductor. (He
came to me after chapel and apol-ogized
— I appreciated his apology
and understand the pressure that
was on him as he, for the first
time, directed chapel choir.)
Their indispensible robes were
in the classroom where the test
was being taken. My hard heart
mellowed and I let the choir in
for their robes — SO, as at least
80 feet stomped to the robe closet,
and the organist bellowed out
"Finlandia," Miss Anderson's stu-dents
tried hard to formulate on
paper their thoughts on Oberteuf-fer's
and Ulrich's philosophy about
the American belief in self-direc-tion,
self-realization, and self- dis-cipline.
(Forgive me for revealing
part of a test question — John
Carmean was absent.)
I guess my plea is really this —
when the new campus becomes a
and professional organizations, lit-erature,
recommended books and
motion pictures, and so on.
Bethel students are urged to
become actively involved in this
significant experiment. A faith
which is not expressed and applied
to the everyday problems of life
soon becomes irrelevant and sick-ly.
The Faith In Life Dialogue may
become a major help in planning
church renewal.
A schedule of the many radio
and TV broadcasts is posted on
the Social Sciences Bulletin
Board. Several of the TV pro-grams
will feature a "feedback"
survey in which the viewers may
register their viewpoints by
punching out a perforated card
which will then be mailed in for
computation of the results. Area
newspapers are also carrying
many related articles. Many area
churches, including several of
our Conference churches, have
formed discussion groups.
Further information, literature,
and a 43 page study guide may be
obtained from the nearby Town
Meeting office at 2477 Como Ave-nue.

Mrs. Turritin will be the German
instructor until Miss Effie Nelson
recovers from her illness.
Mrs. Turritin will be teaching
elementary and intermediate Ger-man.
Previous to Bethel she taught
for three years at Augsburg
lege, and has just finished an-other
replacement duty at St.
Catherine's College.
She has her B.A. from the Uni-versity
of Wisconsin and her M.A.
from the University of Minnesota.
In the meantime, Miss Nelson
will be recovering in Midway Hos-reality,
I hope it will not include
a multipurpose building such as
we have now.
As I close this letter to the
strains of "America the Beautiful"
(a favorite song of mine) I realize
I am late for chapel so I will
promptly make haste from this
classroom to our worship service.
Forgive me if I sound like a
rebel — I'm not! As Walter Cron-kite
would say, "This is the way it
was on November 11, 1966."
Sincerely,
Miss Starr
To the Editor,
As I walked out of chapel thiq
morning, (Tuesday, November 8)
I felt very uneasy. I agreed with
both speakers concerning their
hate for the evil of war. But I
thought of the Christian boys over
in the Viet Nam who, according to
many, should breathe a prayer of
confession as they pull the trigger;
What kind of Christian willfully
sins over and over and dares ask
God again and again for forgive-ness?
Perhaps a 11 Christians
should become pacifists? I person-ally
don't know.
Is killing in such a war sin?
What is our Christian duty to our
country? What about the Canaan-ite
destruction of long ago? Does
the new covenant of grace nullify
divine sanction of any war? If we
as a nation were to pull out of
Viet Nam, would the results be
more evil than the war conditions
right now?
Obviously, I'm confused. But I
feel Christianity, somewhere, holds
the answer. Today, Viet Nam, on
Christian grounds, was condemned.
But we still have a war. Christians
are still pulling triggers, and vot-ing
levers for candidates who sup-port
the war. What would Christ
have us to do?
Perhaps another chapel on this
subject is in order.

To the Editor,
Like all transfer students, I have
been critically appraising Bethel
since my arrival in September.
And frankly, I like most of what
I see and hear.
However, I have noticed that the
disease common to higher educa-tion
has reached epidemic propor-tions
on our campus. It is usually
called pseudosophistication.
The main symptom is the failure
on the part of the students to re-spond
or react outwardly to any-thing,
whether it be intellectual,
spiritual, even recreational.
I assume the cause is fear of
negative opinion from one's peers.
I prescribe a large dose of courage
and honesty for all Bethelites, my-self
included.

by Morris I. Leibman
Member of the Illinois Bar and Cairman of Standing Committee
on Education against Communism of the American Bar Association
There is a standard against which we should regularly test basic
issues of foreign policy. That standard is the historical and continuous
struggle of human beings for freedom and dignity. This must be our
basis in confronting Breshnev and Kosygin. We are right because the
history of man proves it.
Domestic issues must also be measured against man's historic
struggle for liberty. For the history of the advance of world Communism
overwhelmingly provides the evidence that they will seize upon any
situation approximating dissent for propaganda purposes.
In seeking to improve tomorrow, it is our duty to remember
where we have been and reflect on where we are. Our goals are set
forth in the Declaration and buttressed by a Constitution, a sys-tem
of checks and balances which permits the continuation of western
civilization's spirited dialogue. This unhampered dialogue makes
possible the opportunity to continuously approximate our moral and
spiritual goals.
For we live in that instant of time when it can be said that never
before have 190 million people enjoyed so much material benefits
however imperfect their distribution. The multiplication of consumer
wealth, however, is subordinate to our greatest accomplishment — the►
fashioning of the law society. There is an obligation to that law society.
No society, free or tyrannical, can give its citizens the "right" to
break the law. There can be no law to which obedience is optional; no
command to which the States attach an "if you please."
But what has happened to us? Why is it necessary at this time
to repeat what should be axiomatic and accepted? What is the re-sponsibility
of a citizen? Unequivocally the continuing social task
for the morally sensitive citizen is to impart reality to the yet un-achieved
ideal of full and equal participation by all and in all our
values and opportunities. There are no easy solutions for man's in-humanity
to man.
There is nothing new in violence. Throughout mankind's history
it has been too often a way of life. Whole continents have been involved
in riot, rebellion and revolution. A large part of the world lives behind
the ugly iron and bamboo curtains of Communism.
But this cannot justify terror in the North or in the South. No
individual or group at any time, for any reason, has a right to exact
self-determined retribution. All too often retaliation injures the innocent
at random and provokes counter-retaliation against those equally in+
nocent.
Our imperfections do not license tearing down the structures
which have given us our progress. The only solution is the free and
open law society.
In this frame of reference let us identify certain current forces
whose aim is to destroy the law society.
The inexorable requirement of Communism to exploit every dif,
ference betwen men should now be clearly understood. Yet we seem
to be surprised, confused, even bitter about Communist intervention
in our civil rights problems. What could be a more natural target for
Communist usage?
Ethnological warfare is a widely exploited revolutionary tactic.
To the Communist all means are justified by the end — a basic con-cept
we of the law society reject. These Communists have many
imitators. Those who reject our legal methods and choose terror,
force, violence, hate and bigotry only play into the hands of the
international Communist conspiracy.
The jungle lawlessness of the frontier demonstrated to the pioneers
that only the installation of American juridical proceedings would
enable them to weld together the disparate territories into one na-tion.
I am deeply troubled by certain concepts which have sought ac-ceptability:
"Freedom Now" and "Righteous Civil Disobedience".
"Freedom Now" is an illusion. The desire for self-expression
can be satisfied only in an atmosphere of freedom, and freedom is
not absolute. It exists only within the confines of the necessary
restraining measures of society. The cry for immediacy is the cry
for impossibility. What is possible is to continue to patiently build
the structures that permit the development of beter jusice.
What about the concept of "righteous civil disobedience?"
It seems to me that there is an inherent contradiction in the con-cept
of premeditated, "righteous", civil disobedience. Such a concept
is wholly incompatible with the concept of the American legal system.
This is particularly axiomatic in a society such as ours where
the law is not static and where, if it is claimed to be oppressive or
coercive, many effective channels for change are constantly available.
Our legislatures have regularly met the changing times and changing
needs of the society with consideration for the unalienable rights
of all. Our law has not only been a guardian of freedom, but the
affirmative agent for freedom.
A grave danger is presented where the idea of civil disobedience
may evoke sympathy in a cause which seems just.
For once we accept such a doubtful doctrine, we legitimatize it
for other causes which should be rejected. We would set a standard
of conduct which then must become acceptable for all. Thus we sub-stitute
pressure for persuasion and squander the carefully nurtured
value of self-restraint and jeopardize the system of law.
Our grievances must be settled in the courts and not in the
streets. Muscle is no substitute for morality. We must insist
that men use their minds — not their biceps.

What Plagues College Men?-the Draft
Page 4 the CLARION Thursday, November 17, 1966
by Roberta Parks
If you have been hearing a lot
of loud groans lately, if you've
been seeing a lot of sick looks on
otherwise healthy faces, there's a
good reason: the Bethel class of
1970 are either presently taking,
or have just taken, their first col•
lege mid-terms.
The mention of the very word
`mid-term' can strike terror into
the heart of the innocent, unsus-pecting,
and unprepared.
Immediately thoughts of that
little extra studying that could
have been done creep disturb-ingly
into the mind and it is
with by no means a mild dread
of the unknown that many Beth-el
freshmen faced their first
"cram" sessions.
After some tests had been tak-en,
reactions varied from feeling
that they were "Kind of fun"
to loud groans and that limp,
empty, tired feeling. The majority
of the students were simply glad
to have them over and done with.
Many felt that they were good
preparation for semester finals and
a good chance to discover what,
percent of the facts you were sup-posed
to have assimilated you ac-tually
had. Some specific and in-dividual
reactions were: "Uhg,"
WASHINGTON (CPS) — There
seems to be no direct relationship
between high grades in college and
professional success in later life,
two recent studies indicate.
Dr. Eli Ginzberg, a New York
researcher, studied a group of
Columbia University graduate stu-dents
who had won fellowships to
the school between 1944 and 1950.
Ginzberg's task was to find out
how successful the 342 students
had become 14 years after they
completed their fellowships.
The findings showed students
who had graduated from college
with honors, who had won schol-astic
medals or who had been
elected to Phi Beta Kappa were
more likely to be in the "lower
professional performance levels"
than students who had not dis-tinguished
themselves while in
college.
In another survey, a team of
University of Utah professors
found there is almost no relation-ship
between the grades a medical
student gets and his later per-formance.
This finding startled the leader
of the research team, Dr. Phillip
B. Price. He called it a "shocking
finding to a medical educator like
myself who has spent his pro-fessional
life selecting applicants
for admission to medical school."
He added that the study caus-ed
him to question the adequacy
of grades not only in selecting
those who should be admitted
to medical school but also in
measuring a student's progress.
There are numerous theories at-tempting
to explain these surpris-ing
findings. The most common
one affirms that the over-emphasis
on grades which begins when a
student is in junior high schooll
and continues throughout his aca-demic
career tends to destroy in-terest
in learning for its own sake.
John Holt, an educator and
author of "Why Children Fail,"
observes that current school meth-
"Help," "I feel brainwashed," and
"What exceptional (!?) tests."
Many freshmen were bothered
by sections of the tests. A usual
complaint was that it was hard
to concentrate and do your best
when in a room with a hundred
and fifty other people.
While a majority felt that the
tests were fair, a sizable group
felt that too many unimportant
details were added at the expense
of really important concepts.
Another frequent complaint was
that there was too much pressure
because the tests were too close
together.
Approximately half of the stu-dents
interviewed felt that the
mid-terms weren't as nightmar-ish
as had been expected. About
seventy percent felt that they
were no harder than a high
school test covering the same
amount of material and most felt
that the teachers had done a
good job preparing them for
their first college mid-terms.
Taken in total, it seems that
there exists a feeling that while
mid-terms aren't exactly the nicest
things in the world, they do serve
a purpose and since they are in-escapable,
there's no use fighting
them.
ods destroy love of learning by
encouraging students to work for
petty rewards — names on honor
rolls, gold staffs, for the "ignoble
satisfaction of feeling they are bet-ter
than someone else."
The Student Missionary Project
for the summer of 1967 was out-lined
in chapel Wednesday, Nov-ember
2. The purposes of the Stu-dent
Missionary Service Program
can be classed according to the
groups of people who benefit from
it. These are (1) the missionaries,
(2) the participating students, and
(3) the returning students' campus
and community.
One of the major goals of the
program is to help the missionary
accomplish more of his main pur-pose
during the summer—whether
this is in the form of medical
work, Bible translating, or direct
evangelization.
The student frequently can take
an active part in the mission-ary's
activities. More often, how-ever,
the student is able to help
by doing many of the time con-suming
tasks necessary for living
which keep the missionary from
his primary job.
It is also hoped that the student
will prove helpful in a way not
nearly as evident: in providing
youth, new ideas, and opportunity
for exchange and sharing of con-temporary
thoughts.
Lastly, the missionaries will have
the chance of expressing their own
concern to someone who, after be-ing
personally involved in the
work for several weeks, will be
returning to the States, where this
by Don Looser
It wasn't exactly a psychiatric
ward; it was just a college infirm,
ary room with no windows and a
6'4" male nurse. It had all started
innocently enough with a gorgeous
fall morning — the kind that
makes you wish you were any-where
but where you are. It was
so wonderful that I decided to get
up for breakfast for the first time
that semester.
As I padded down the hall in my
Bermuda shorts and Indian mocca-sins
(a gift of my Indian-in-law
uncle), I had the great misfortune
to encounter our dorm director. I
don't know what yours looks like,
but ours resembled a runner-up
for the Abominable Snowman A-ward.
He said that the folks had
written him wanting to know why
I had not written since first sem-ester.
(Actually, I had written them
the night before — asking for
money.)
So I promised to write, but
this shot all prospects of an en-same
information can be passed
on to others.
Whether definitely planning
for this type of work as a voca-tion,
or trying to decide on this
matter, the student participat-ing
in this program is given a
graphic picture of mission work,
and is helped in determining
God's place for him in this
world-wide work of the Church.
He is enabled, of course, to pray
more intelligently for the particu-lar
missionaries with vastly diverse
experiences from his own, and the
student is usually given excellent
experience in personal adjustment,
which is so vitally necessary for
the effectiveness of the Christian
and his message in any area.
Perhaps the most important aim
of the program is acquainting the
campus with what modern mis,
sions is accomplishing, and giving
other students the benefits of the
summer vicariously.
The former is especially signi-ficant
in the minds of many be-cause
of the global ideological
struggle which tends to eclipse
the importance and even the fact
of present evangelistic efforts.
Through regular campus publi-cations
(student and administra-tive),
special publications, coffee
hours, and participating in regular
meetings on campus, it is hoped
joyable breakfast; so I decided
to finish typing my term paper
before class. I went back to the
shower and started on page 42.
I don't always type in the show-er,
but it happened to be the
only place clean.
I managed to finish all but the
bibliography, so I left it in the
carriage and hustled off to English
294, Medieval Myths and Monsters
(the only course that wasn't full
when I registered). Dr. Flabber-gast
was in rare form that day .
He read twenty minutes of notes
from the wrong course before any-one
caught it.
I was grateful for the hour of
sack time, I had them lab staring
me in the face. I was already three
experiments behind because I had
taken last week off to make up a
P.E. class which I had missed the
week before because I had to study
for a make-up exam which I had
missed because I got interested in
a tennis tournament and forgot
floor lab, skipped lunch to have
that the student body, faculty, and
staff obtain a more precise picture
of world missions as well as a feel-ing
of greater personal responsi-bility
toward it.
Off campus these same ends are
met by formal and informal speak
ing engagements in local churches,
schools, service organizations, and
other colleges and universities. In
this latter area it is expected that
the Gospel itself is often present-ed
to many who are not in direct
contact with it.
Both off and on campus, the
individual student can do even
more to accomplish these pur-poses
by personal contact with
other students.
Through these various methods,
the program attempts to unite the
entire student body in one evan-gelical
effort.

Anyway, I charged to the third
extra time for the four experi-ments
I had to do.
The first three went by like a
breeze (especially considering
the fact that I had forgotten my
lab manual). However, on the
fourth, disaster struck. I had
leaned out the window to get
some fresh air and to talk to
my suitemate, who was running
on the nearby dorm roof.
When I turned around, I ran
right into a flask of sulfuric some-thing;
and the sodium whatever-it-
was that I held mixed with it;
and before I knew it, the tile floor
was bubbling; the white smoke was
everywhere; the lab assistant was
screaming not to move; and I was
racing for the dorm.
Back in the room, there was a
note from my roomate, "Apollo,"
saying that he was at the lake,
water skiing with the girl I had
been dating lately. In the mail
was an overdrawn slip from my
bank (I had forgotten to write
down the check I wrote for tuition).
and a memo from my draft board
saying that my grades for the first
semester were not good enough to
exempt me and that I was 1-A
again.
Well, how could a guy rest
with all that on his mind. So, I
decided to finish my biblio-graphy.
I should have noticed
the wet towel in the corner,
but I didn't, so it was quite a
shock when I pulled back the
shower curtain and saw my term
paper.
It wasn't wet actually. They had
dried it in the clothes dryer in
the basement, so it actually looked
more like the Magna Carta. Well,
I couldn't do it over because I had
gotten an extension already. So, I
retyped the bibliography, soaked
it in the basin, and took it down
to the dryer to age while I ate
dinner.
Ordinarily, I can take the food
in the dorm. But there is one thing
that I hate — PLASTIC POTA-TOES!
You know, the kind that
come in a box and you add water
or peach juice, or whatever is left
from lunch. Well, I started laugh-ing.
And I couldn't stop. On top of
everything else, that was it!
So, when they finally decided
that I needed some help, they
started carrying me back to my
room. Then I started screaming
for someone to get my term
paper out of the clothes dryer.
That's when they brought me
here. It's not bad. There are five
mattresses here — one on the floor
and four on the walls. I'm really
fine now. They are going to let
me out this afternoon. They have
to. I've been drafted.

Harriers Finish Third In AAU Meet;
Johnson and Swanson Lead Team
by Jerry Loomis
This past Saturday the fifth an-nual
Senior Mens A.A.U. Cross
Country Champoniships were held
at Como Park. The Royal harriers
participated in the men's champ?
ionship event, and also five mem-bers
of Bethel's fragile sex ran in
the women's competition.
The men's competition was 10,-
000 meters in length and was run
over the many hills which make
up the Como Park golf course,
To make matters worse, the course
was completely covered with snow
and the temperature was a mere .
10 degrees above zero.
Bethel competed as a team a-gainst
St. Cloud and White Bear
Lake. Also, there were two indi-vidual
runnners from River Falls
and the University of Minnesota,
one from Bemidji State and Wino-na,
and one unattached runner
who participated. As a team, the
Royals came in third as they scor-ed
51 points in comparison to St .
Cloud's 19 and White Bear Lake's
50.
Finishing first in the competi-tion
was St. Cloud's Van Nelson.
His time was 36:56.6 which was a
little less than two minutes off

the course record set by Ron Da-vis
in 1964. Under the best of
weather conditions, he covered the
10,00:0 meters in 34:58. Davis is a
member of the Twin City Track
Club.
Nelson is rated as one of the
best runners in the country, and
he certainly proved this last Sat-urday.
His time was almost three
minutes better than the second
place finisher.
In fact, one of Bethel's runners
told me that when Nelson finished.
he still had 1.25 miles left to run
and 12 other participants in the
race were farther behind than he
was. Eight of those twelve didn't
finish.
The best finish for Bethel was
fourteenth by Steve Johnson with
a time of 43:44. Steve led the race
for the first 100 yards, only to
be overtaken by Nelson, who pro-ceeded
to lead the race from that
point on.
Four other Bethel runners fin-ished
the race. Rich Swanson took
sixteenth with a time of 44:07,
Steve Roe took twenty-first with
a time of 46:02.5, Dave Moulton
finished twenty-second at 47:00.

for twenty-third place.
Next week, the Como Park golf
course is once again the site for
the NAIA District 13 Champion-ship.
The meet will be held at
11:00 a.m. on Saturday, and will
be the Royals' last meet for the
1966 season.
Switching to the Women's AAU
Championship, we find that a four-teen
yar old Minnetonka Junior
High School girl won first place
honors. Young Jill Lindquist won
the one-mile event with a time
of 8:07.8.
The first girl to finish for Beth-el
was Cindy Karlsson. She took
fourth place with a time of 8:42.
The other four Royal lasses took
sixth, seventh, eight and ninth
places respectively.
Ruth Ness covered the mile in
9:30, Marcia Rieth in 9:45, Mari-lyn
Edgar in 9:46, and Sandy Spur-geon
in 9:47. Congratulations to
these for the fine efforts they put
out under such horrid weather
conditions to honor our school.
In addition to the AAU Cross
Country Championships, the men's
intramural meet was held this past
Saturday. A disappointing number
of six participated in the event.
The meet was won by the old
wing of Edgren's third floor. They
were the only men who fielded a
team.
Norm Kern of First New won
first place honors in covering the
2.1 mile distance in 16:21. Wally
Borner of Third New and Gaylord
Anderson of Third Old tied for
second just one second behind
Norm at 16:22.
John Cowan took third with a
time of 17:18, Woody Dahlberg
took fourth at 17:22 and Mike
Damberg finished fifth with a time
of 17:45. All three of these partici-pants
represented Third Old.

overtime.
The Seminary beat Phelps 1-0
in overtime, on a snow-covered
field to win the intramural foot-ball
championship.
Both teams were unable to pen-etrate
within the other's 20 yard
line during the regular game, but
a 6 yard pass from Duane Johnson
to Bruce Ericson gave the Semin-ary
enough yardage to win the
game.
The long kicks of Phelps punt-er,
Paul Bunger, and the Phelps
defense contained the Seminary
within its own territory for the
entire first half. Phelps, how-ever,
could not move against the
Seminary either.
In the second half, both teams
had good chances to score, but
their own mistakes cost them vic-tory.
Phelps end, Craig Anderson,
caught a pass on the Phelps 25,
and raced down the sideline to
near the Seminary end zone, but
an offside penalty nullified the
play. Near the end of the game
Dennis Port intercepted a pass
for the Seminary on the Phelps
35.
A few plays later Gary Pang-burn
picked off a Duane John-son
pass, and carried the ball
back into Seminary territory.
But Duane Johnson caught one
of Pangburn's passes, and after
a few plays, time ran out.
Phelps won the toss for the
overtime period, and elected to
let the Seminary run their series
first. Lynn Bergfalk caught John-son
behind the line for a ten
yard loss on first down.
On the next play, Dave Kastelien
brought the ball back to the la
yard line. Then Ericson made his
catch on the 24. The last Seminary
pass was knocked down by Pang-burn.
Phelps' first three passes were
incomplete, and Mark Coleman in-tercepted
on the last play to
guarantee the Seminary victory.

well as take coursework and super-vise
student teachers at the U.
of M. Sension coached former cage
star Jerry Moulton at Howard
Lake.
So much for the coaching —
now for the schedule. The sea-son
promises to provide the
Royals with their best competi-tion
since the days of "Wally
Pete." Four 1965-66 conference
champions are included on the
slate.
Included are Stout State (Wis-consin
State University Athletic
Conference), St. Thomas (MIAC),
Carleton (Midwest Conference),
and the University of Windsor (0-
QAA or Ontario Quebec Athletic
Association).
In addition, the likes of UMM,
Bemidji, and River Falls are no
patsies. Royal fans might well re-member
the two thrillers with U-MM
last year — and the Cougars
are strong again.
Bemidji finished second only
to a very tough St. Cloud outfit
in the NIC (Northern Intercol-legiate
Conference). And River
Falls? The Wisconsin boys hold
a current 8 game streak over the
Royals and 11 of the last 12
contests.
Hamline, Westmar, Manitoba,
and Dordt of Iowa, Carleton, and
the U of Windsor are all on the
Blue and Gold schedule for the
first time. Another first will be
the "February Fly-In" to Bemidji
on February 9.
Sports publicist Malcom Avey
expects to have 32 students (in
addition to the team) signed up
for a charter flight to Bemidji.
The cost will be $16 apiece.
Now for the material — Co-captain
Dave Bjorklund and
sophomore middle guard Ron
"Huey" Pederson will lead the
66-67 charge. 6' 1" Bjorklund,
steady rebounder and scorer for
four years, is currently teaming
with ballhawk Edgar Peterman
at guard.
Pederson, the 6' 6" defensive
middle guard on the gridiron,
performs admirably at either cen-ter
or forward on the hardwood.
6' 5" senior center Tom Hagen
and 6' 2" Dick Robertson current-ly
round out the first unit.
Counted on for considerable ac-tion
are sophomore guard John
Bjorklund, junior David Living-ston,
senior guards Cabot Dow and
Ray Peterson, and 6' 4" Dave
Moulton. Freshman Tim Weko, a
6' 6" Gibralter, Wisconsin product,
has shown fine potential. Larry
Johnson, a 6' 6" junior transfer
and 6' 1" Bruce Nelson are other
hopefuls.
So there you have it — new
coaches, tough schedule, "Febru-ary
Fly-In", and promising poten,
tial — all the college has to do
is support the squad (which is
asking quite a bit, nicht wahr?).

Ah! Another step towards the appeasement of the Royal
sports fan is in the making on the Bethel sports scene. No
longer will he be forced to languish before the paper or
TV for "second hand" thrills once the violent Bethel grid
season is packed away in mothballs; this winter first-hand
thrills of perhaps even greater magnitude than that of the
climatic football season will be provided by a "fledgling"
hockey team.
According to official Bethel sports publicist Malcolm J.
Avey, the team was founded last winter when a few hardy
Canadians and local Minnesotans started a hockey team to add
excitement to the annual Sno-Daze festivities.
A thrilling win over St. Olaf aroused school support and
a second game was scheduled with River Falls. Again the
pucksters responded with a victory, giving them an un-blemished
record in their initial season.
This year enthusiasm is at an even higher pitch, and the
team has expanded in numbers and support. The Student Sent
ate has alotted $250.00 to help cover practice expenses, and
the team is selling booster buttons to help pay for the $700
worth of equipment they have ordered.
Key players in the upcoming campaign include goal ten-der
Carl Smith, a graduate from Minnehaha Academy, where
he lettered in the same position. Don Bester, a senior from
Canada, will play forward. Don's shoulder was injured in
last year's River Fall's battle, and he has been waiting for;
another crack at the Falcons.
Ken Rutz, a returning defense man from St. Paul
Washington, will be a big man in front of the nets. Doug
Gordh, a graduate of Ramsey High of St. Paul, will return
to his left wing position. Larry Schultz, another Canadian,
will play center and supply scoring punch. He insists the
extra hairs he has lost will streamline his play on the ice,
while others rumor it is a sign of advancing age. Additional
freshmen and sophomores make the season outlook a bright
one.
The first game is with Hamline on December 2, and the
icemen need the support of all Bethel sports fans hungering
for action and excitement. This season is a crucial one in
putting Bethel hockey on the intercollegiate level. Good sup ,
port from the student body may help influence the ad minis ,
tration to sponsor the team next year.
